- An early-morning clipper left patchy slush and slick spots across the Twin Cities, especially on bridges, overpasses and side streets.
- MnDOT reported many routes partially covered and deployed plows and salt across the metro.
- A couple of commute-time crashes were reported, including one on Highway 169 in Shakopee that slowed traffic.
- Light snow tapered by sunrise with clearing skies and highs near 39–40°F expected to speed melting.
- Forecasts point to a stronger late-week system likely to bring gusty winds and rain to the metro with accumulating snow in northern Minnesota, plus additional weekend snow chances.
